Anyone running the new Windows Mojave?
No doubt many are aware that Windows Mojave is a reference to a manipulative advertising tactic used by Microsoft. Basically, they called up a group of Vista haters, invited them to a "preview" of something they called Windows Mojave, which was actually Windows Vista, and then produced the latest ad campaign which shows those former haters praising "Mojave" for what it can do.What the ads don't mention is that the Vista haters were not actually interacting with PC's during this so-called experiment. They were shown a video, so they didn't have any of the install, debugging, resource, or incompatibility issues to deal with.What brought this to my attention is that when I looked on the YouTube tonight to see what people were currently saying about Vista, each time I clicked on a Vista-negative video, I saw an ad screen reading "what do Vista haters think when they don't know it's vista?" Which leads to the aforementioned presentation of "The Mojave Experiment."Interesting tactic. Microsoft will not win me over to Vista with it, but I wonder if it will work for them. My memories of Vista are still too fresh--the crashes, the annoying questions (do you really want to do this?), the incompatibility issues, the MONTHS I spent trying to get back to even basic functionality, and then the insult of having to pay for XP just to be able to replace Vista on the new computer (which was actually the third computer I'd bought in the nightmare series of events that brought me to finally "downgrade" to XP).That's not to mention the insult of having to pay for a Vista install on a Circuit Shitty computer that ultimately was returned, refunded, & therefore no longer mine . . . (they would not rescind the install fee) . . . which is why I'll never shop at that store again, and I'm glad their market share is sinking.I don't know why I'm telling you this. Just a residual sense of being pissed off at Microscrew and Circuit Shitty, I suppose, coupled with a little bit of curiosity as to what people are thinking about Vista (Cyst-a) these days. For my own part, I sincerely wish that I'd have gone to Mac years ago. Many a shitty (yet fun!) video or song file might have been created in that time; meanwhile I still can't figure out how to record the simplest of either on Windows.Ah, life . . . Herring405
